Table 2
Two-, five- and ten-year age-specific cancer prevalence proportion trends, all cancers combined and four leading cancers, Canada excluding Quebec, 1994 to 2008.
Table summary
This table displays the results of Prevalence proportion (per 100,000). The information is grouped by Cancer type/Age group appearing as row headers and is grouped by Two-year (1994 to 2008) (APC / Trend change year / APC, AAPC), Five-year (1997 to 2008) (APC / Trend change year / APC, AAPC), Ten-year (2002 to 2008)(APC / Trend change year / APC, AAPC) appearing as column headers, calculated using proportion as a unit of measure.
